You can read more about the Curated List of Wines and Cheeses for the #MadeinFrance event where Whole Foods Market Global Buyers Devon Broglie and Cathy Strange will be chatting during the Facebook Live event. Don't forget that's coming up next Thursday, October 5th. So, if you're available, hop on and follow the hashtag - #MadeinFrance - between 2:30pm and 3:00pm Pacific time.


When I first read about the Vignobles des Roches Morgon, Epoisses came to mind as a perfect pairing. I love rich, stinky cheeses; I love them even more when paired with a wine that has depth and elegance.


Vignobles des Roches Morgon is an extraordinary red wine. Made from Gamay grapes this wine has a depth that is significant, but not overpowering. It's simultaneously light and rich. It's an enigma in a bottle. An amazing enigma.


Epoisses cheese from Hervé Mons is everything you want from a rich cheese. It's decadent and stinky. Oh, it's divine!


I served it with a variety of fruits and nuts. But, really, all I needed was to be happy was Vignobles des Roches Morgon + Epoisses...and some way to get the cheese to my mouth. I used crackers since my mom always chastised me for licking the knife. Ha.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
